Is Your Pc Dusty?

[Medicine_Man]

Got this computer that came into work today from a produce store, They said that it wouldn't start. Opened the case and have a look at the inside of the machine($*#*($%(*^@()!@@!!!! People seriously need to get their machines serviced on a regular basis but they usually end up bringing it in when it stops working..

Hey Justin, it's almost as bad as mine was, isn't it?? :(

[Medicine_Man]

It was bad, but not like this, This one took at least 5 minutes to dust out with the air compressor, The other 2 machines I have done in the past that came anywhere near this were,

 

(1) Dental clinic machine - Full of tooth dust.

(2) Plasterboard place - Full of plasterboard dust.

I just vacuumed my comp out.. it wasn't anywhere near that bad!!! :(

[Clown]

[LINDSAY]

What's the best way to de-dust a pc?

[Rolla__Boy]

You can buy little vacuums...I think u can even get USB powered ones...

 

And you can also buy cans of air...which as stupid as that sounds...works really well

[LINDSAY]

Sweet , gotta get me sum of that

[Medicine_Man]

Best way is with an air compressor, vacuums are useless, compressed air in a can is alright if its not mega dusty..

f@$k me drunk...

[Trev]

And I'm sure that medicine man did this but i will just warn every1 else to have a GOOD water seperator on their air compressor to avoid moisture.

[Medicine_Man]

I've heard of people putting mainboards in their dishwasher to clean them before and they still work after. I think computers have more issues on the sunshine coast with corosion from salt spray than with a bit of moisture from an air compressor..

[Trev]

Well I'm never letting anyone put a drop of water near my $3000+ computer and its what the computer shop sez so i would rather be safe than sorry just thought id pass on some advice, no harm.
